I have the same clutch. All you posted is normal. What did you expect it's a puck style clutch.
Also what reason did you choose this clutch are you FI making more than 400Whp?

you should be able to adjust the pedal to make the engagement a little lower.
if you have any grinding, etc then you havent gotten it all the way in gear... try not pushing the clutch all the way to the floor.
if you get shaking/jerking/spinning when you try to go then you arent doing it right. with a pucked clutch you will need to take off with the rev's higher than with a normal clutch, you will also need to take off faster.
with all the clunking you have going on i'd wonder if your motor mounts are busted, its easy to bust worn mounts when changing the clutch. My car was much easier to drive after i replaced the mounts.
the car shouldnt be hard to drive, it might take a little more concentration at first but it shouldnt be hard by any means

U got to learn how to take off. I have the same clutch and i have 10k on it already. I can take off like its a stock clutch. U just have to learn how to let off the clutch pedal and u wont have the car jerking. It should only take u a week to get used to it.
